3. Safety and operating notes
On page 7, replace the IP classication section and the rst paragraph in the
Laser safety section, with:
IP classication
Both the Product and the Wireless Sensor comply with code IP65 (dustproof and
water jets resistant). The prism complies with code IP67 (dust-tight and protected
against immersion).
Laser safety
This Product uses a Class 2 laser according to the requirements of IEC 60825-
1:2014. This laser complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for
deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. The laser
operates at a wavelength of 630 nm – 680 nm and has a maximum radiant power
<1 mW. No maintenance is necessary to keep the product compliant as outlined
above.

4. FLUKE 830 - an overview (Change 1)
On page 17, in the Mounting and dismounting the universal adapter/charger plug
section, replace text and Figure 4-3 as follows:
Mounting and dismounting the universal adapter/charger plug
The universal adapter/charger comes with regional plugs for the Euro zone, the
US/Canada/Japan, the UK, Australia and China.
To mount the plug:
1. Push down the latch and hold [
A].
2. Insert the plug into the housing with the lip on the leading edge [
B].
When the latch is pushed down, the arrow inside the charger housing shows
the direction to insert the plug. The plug is locked into position when the latch
release springs back into position.
To dismount a plug, push down the latch [
A]. The plug pops out.

4. FLUKE 830 - an overview (Change 2)
On pages 18-19, replace the Sensor section with:
Wireless Sensor
The Wireless Sensor mounts using the chain type bracket on the shaft or solid
coupling of the left machine (usually stationary machine) – as viewed from the
normal working position.
The Sensor contains a position detector, which measures the position of the laser
beam as the shafts are rotated. The Sensor also contains an electronic inclinom-
eter for shaft rotation measurements. The semiconductor laser diode within the
Sensor emits a ray of red light (wavelength 630 nm to 680 nm) which is visible at
the point it strikes a surface. The Class 2 laser beam is emitted with a diameter of
approximately 5 mm (3/16”).
The Sensor has two indicator LEDs on the front. See Figure 4-4. Parts of the
Sensor. When facing the sensor, the left LED [
A] indicates the laser beam
adjustment and the charging status. The LED on the right [
B] indicates the
wireless communication status and lights blue when scanning and when commu-
nication is established. See Table 4-2. Monitoring sensor LEDs.
The internal optics and electronics are internally sealed to prevent possible con-
tamination. The Sensor lens, however, must be kept clean. Use the lens cleaning
cloth or a ne dusting brush such as that normally used to clean other optical
devices. Keep the dust cap on when not in use.
An internal rechargeable battery powers the Sensor.
To turn on the Sensor, press the On/O switch on the Sensor. The red LED lights
when sensor is switched on.
To turn o the Sensor, press and hold the On/O switch until both LEDs are o.
Warning
When the Wireless Sensor is on, the laser beam is emitted. DO NOT stare
into the laser beam.

Caution
Avoid polishing the lens too vigorously to prevent irreparable damage to
its anti-reective coating.
Caution
DO NOT remove the six housing torx head screws. Removing the screws
voids the warranty.
Note
Check the calibration accuracy of the Wireless Sensor every two years as in-
dicated by the colored label located on the back of the housing. Return the
Sensor to your authorized service center for calibration.

Do not stare into the beam.

Charging the Wireless Sensor
Use the mains supply or a PC to charge the Sensor.
Note
Charging the Sensor using the mains supply is faster than when charging
through a PC.
Use the supplied micro USB to connect the charging source to the Sensor. (See

Addendum
Adjust the Sensor and prism so that the laser beam strikes the prism and is
reected back into the Sensor.
Warning
Do not stare into the beam.
1. Keep the prism dust cap on. If the Sensor and prism are roughly positioned
with each other during mounting, the laser beam should strike the prism dust
cap and is readily visible. If the beam is so far o target that the beam misses
the prism completely, hold a sheet of paper in front of the prism to locate the
beam and readjust it.
2. Make these adjustments:
● Vertical adjustment: slide the prism or Sensor up and down along the
support posts. Use the thumbwheel [
A] on the side of the prism housing.
To move the Sensor, loosen the yellow knobs [
B].
The lever [
C] must always be in the horizontal position except for mounting
and dismounting.

● Horizontal adjustment: loosen one of the brackets on the shaft and rotate it
slightly and then retighten.
Figure 7-15. Horizontal adjustment of the laser beam
Adust the beam to the center:
1. Position the components until the laser beam strikes the center of the target
on the prism dust cap.
2. Remove the prism dust cap so the laser beam strikes the prism and is
reected back to the Sensor. The Sensor’s Status LED (left) indicates the
beam adjustment condition.
• If the reected beam does not strike the detector surface, the Product’s
right LED turns red while the Sensor Status LED (left) blinks red. (See
Table 4-2. Monitoring sensor LEDs). The message ‘Laser OFF’ appears on
the display screen. Adjust the reected beam using the metal thumbwheel
and the yellow adjustment knob on the prism as shown on Figure 7-9.
Horizontal and vertical adjustment of the laser beam.
• When the reected beam strikes the edge of the detector, the Product’s
right LED turns orange while the Sensor’s Status LED (left) blinks orange
(refer to Table 4-2. Monitoring sensor LEDs). The message ‘Laser End’
appears on the display screen.

Note
The red arrow on the yellow knob indicates which way to turn the knob. The
closer the beam comes to being centered, the smaller the arrow becomes.
When the laser beam is inside the center square, the Status LED (left) blinks
green.
Note
If the beam is not exactly at the center of the crosshair, it will not aect measure-
ment accuracy. However, maximum range for measurement is available when
the beam is well centered.
Note
Once centered, do not touch the Sensor or prism, as any movement during
measurement will be interpreted as misalignment. You can move these compo-
nents when extending the measurement range.
